My title says Security Architect. My work says something else.
I configure IAM, define policies, run scans, respond to vulnerabilities. This is critical work.
But is this architecture?
Why Do I Believe I’m an Architect?
I hold security certifications
I design access policies and controls
I run audits and compliance checks
My role is titled “Security Architect”

What I Actually Do
Configure IAM / access controls
Define encryption / key management
Run vulnerability scans
Monitor incidents and compliance
All essential. But structurally:
This is implementation and operations.
